          <by role="member" id="4336">The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (15:28):</by>  Perhaps I should make myself clear to the opposition once again. At the request of family and carers, the CEO of NALHN has had six scheduled meetings to individually discuss concerns, as at the close of 1 May. We know there have been a number of external and internal stakeholder meetings that have occurred.</text>
        <text id="201705096b9b10d1b397414f80000528">We know also that there have been a number of further family forums scheduled across the following dates involving family and carers who were notified. There was one on 28 April; one family of a current care recipient attended. On 1 May, there was another one; 15 members of current care recipients attended. There was one on 3 May; eight families of care recipients attended that family forum. Further family forums will be scheduled this week and more if required.</text>
        <text id="201705096b9b10d1b397414f80000529">We continue to have ongoing contact with past family of care recipients who have previously resided in the Oakden facility from 2008. They have received correspondence, as I stated before, from the Chief Executive Officer of NALHN advising them of the independent review, and have been provided with frequently answered questions.</text>
